I honestly don't believe it....

I have just been queuing at a well known high street supermarket, and have just seen a lady who staff refused to serve alcohol too (ONE nice bottle of sauvingon(sp?) blanc...) on the grounds that her two toddlers didn't have ID!?!?
I guess when your staff doesn't have the collective intelligence of a Mongoose, every little does really help.

If this happens, simply refuse to move and request that the pinhead checkout bod summons their manager. If said manager doesn't sort it, repeat, this time with the store manager.
No point shouting or in any way arguing with the muppet on the till, they haven't got a clue.
I'm a serial complainer in supermarkets, though usually over incorrect pricing. Being patient and making your point to someone who can actually make a decision usually pays off.

Bunch of people who if they DO use their initiative are faced with the very real possibility of either a disciplinary or, if the person DOES turn out to be underage a min. £250 out of their own pocket (almost a month's wages for a lot of the part timers).
Thankfully I worked in a local Co-op where the manager wasn't a complete knob (Hi Terry), but the "company policy" can often be very inflexible so please don't take it out on the people on the till. crofty1984 said:

OK the hand waving isn't true but otherwise this hasn't failed me yet.
